Same here as a Hunter on WoW it helps with ammo and stuff, plus there are other wow related things, also I can turn my screen off and use it to surf music. etc.

IDK much about the G11 but the G15 is ginormous and I have to carry it to all my lans seperately lol

I love the screen in the G15. The color is cool, but blue is always better. For the screen, I mostly use it for vent, to see who's speaking, and for itunes. When music is playing, it tells you what is playing, how long its playing for, how much time is left, and it lets you pause, stop, go to next song and change volume. Its nice to not have to minimize the screen to select a new song. Its also nice to adjust volume on the keyboard, I hate using the volume knob (its very senitive for my speakers).

G11 is a better price, with more macros though. So it just comes down to if you want the screen. It can do so much with all the extra user created content. You can alos monitor your CPU, RAM, graphics card temeratures too! I reccomend the g15 over the g11 because I love the screen.

i just went from the G15 to a Razer Lycosa and the :ycosa is so much better, yeh it doesnt have a screen but its better for typing and it looks better IMO and also its got that mad touch sensictive media pad.

the G15 is a great keyboard, but i only used teh screen a couple of times for checking my temps, but who going to look down at a screen on there keyboard when you can display the info on the screen

im using the Lycosa now, the keys feel really good and the lighting is just as good as teh G15, still havent tried in theh dark tho,

oh, and the DeathAdder is a mad mouse!

If I didn't allready own a logitech G15 then i would have gotten a razer IMO the keys feel better, plus with my G15 a screw was loose and it took me like 1 hour of pulling the keyboard apart to find the damn rattling noise.

On the revised G15, you just have to Press the G key changer (3 buttons dedicated to swapping the G keys over from modes 1, 2 and 3) to go to all the G Keys...someone seems greatly missinformed...

I've been looking at both of these for anew keyboard. I like the appearance of the G15 more - the extra buttones on the left of the G11 look a bit unneccessary, though I do prefer the blue light over the red/orange. I've tried a G15 and like the feel of the keys, though looking online a lot of sellers don't make it clear which version they are selling - v1 looks similar to the G11 but with the screen, whereas v2 looks quite different (and the one I prefer).

They've both been out for a while now, so is there a new model on the horizon?

I own the old G15. Its bassicly the new G11 with a screen on it. I love it. I use alot of those macros on the side, but the screen doesnt realy come in handy to often. I just use it to monitor my cpu/ram usage. I also use it for the clock. Its got usb ports on it, but there not 2.0, and maybe the newer ones are. Great keyboard over all.
